The expansion of Christian Zionism in the Global South
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This collection investigates the rise of Christian Zionism and philo-Semitism across the Global South. These movements are exerting a transformative influence on both international politics and the fabric of global Christianity. These movements are characterised by charismatic evangelical engagement with, and appropriation of, Jewish histories, rituals, and Zionist political views. Despite Christian Zionism’s growing influence in the Global South, scholarly understanding remains limited, with a primary focus on its western origins. Consequently, the specific motivations, cultural adaptations, and theological underpinnings driving this phenomenon in new contexts are poorly understood. This collection addresses this gap by offering a more globally representative and accurate perspective of the phenomenon. While establishing a dialogue with frameworks developed in the Global North, the collection moves beyond a western-centric view to analyse the movement’s transformation across the Global South. It features six contributions, plus an afterword, that explore cases located in Latin America and Africa. This collection serves as a foundational step towards developing a more robust understanding of Christian Zionism in the Global South.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
